A method for separating carbon dioxide (CO) from a gas stream is provided. The method includes reacting at least a portion of COin the gas stream with a plurality of liquid sorbent particles to form a plurality of solid adduct particles and a first CO-lean gas stream; the solid adduct particles entrained in the first CO-lean gas stream to form an entrained gas stream. The method includes separating at least a portion of the plurality of solid adduct particles from the entrained gas stream in a separation unit to form an adduct stream and a second CO-lean gas stream. The method further includes heating at least a portion of the adduct stream in a desorption unit to form a COstream and a regenerated liquid sorbent stream. A system for separating COfrom a gas stream is also provided.

The present invention is directed to aminosilicone solvent recovery methods and systems. The methods and systems disclosed herein may be used to recover aminosilicone solvent from a carbon dioxide containing vapor stream, for example, a vapor stream that leaves an aminosilicone solvent desorber apparatus. The methods and systems of the invention utilize a first condensation process at a temperature from about 80&#xb0; C. to about 150&#xb0; C. and a second condensation process at a temperature from about 5&#xb0; C. to about 75&#xb0; C. The first condensation process yields recovered aminosilicone solvent. The second condensation process yields water.

Aminosilicone solvent recovery methods and systems

Methods for making comprising hollow silica particles from a composition comprising a silicon-containing compound selected from the group consisting of tetraalkoxysilanes, trialkyloxysilanes and derivatives thereof, dialkoxysilanes and derivatives thereof, alkoxysilanes and derivatives thereof, silicone oligomers, oligomeric silsesquioxanes and silicone polymers distributed over a polymer template core that is eliminated from the particle in a two-stage heating process. The particles of the present invention have a substantially uniform particle size and exhibit low permeability to liquids.

In one embodiment, a system for recovering carbon dioxide can comprises: a reaction chamber having a first pressure and comprising a gas stream inlet; a phase-changing liquid sorbent, wherein the liquid sorbent is chemical reactive with carbon dioxide to form a solid material; a regeneration unit to decompose the solid material to released carbon dioxide gas and regenerated liquid sorbent; and a dry transport mechanism configured to transport the solid material from the reaction chamber at the first pressure to the regeneration unit at a second higher pressure. In one embodiment, a method of recovering carbon dioxide from a gas stream, comprises: chemically reacting carbon dioxide with a pure amine compound liquid sorbent to form a solid material; without adding a carrier fluid, dry pressurizing and transporting the solid material, to a regeneration unit; and heating the solid material in the regeneration unit to provide a substantially thermal reaction to decompose the solid material to carbon dioxide gas and regenerated liquid sorbent.

Carbon dioxide capture system and methods of capturing carbon dioxide

A method for recovering carbon dioxide (CO) from a gas stream is disclosed. The method includes the step of reacting COin the gas stream with fine droplets of a liquid absorbent, so as to form a solid material in which the COis bound. The solid material is then transported to a desorption site, where it is heated, to release substantially pure COgas. The COgas can then be collected and used or transported in any desired way. A related apparatus for recovering carbon dioxide (CO) from a gas stream is also described herein.

A method for preparing a polymer-organoclay composite composition comprises combining a solvent and an unexfoliated organoclay to provide a first mixture, wherein the unexfoliated organoclay comprises alternating inorganic silicate layers and organic layers, and has an initial spacing between the silicate layers; exposing the first mixture to an energized condition of a sufficient intensity and duration to increase the initial spacing of the inorganic silicate layers, to provide a second mixture; contacting the second mixture with a polymer composition so that the polymer composition fills at least one region located between at least one pair of silicate layers, wherein the polymer composition is at least partially soluble in the solvent; and removing at least a portion of the solvent from the second mixture, wherein the inorganic silicate layers remain separated by the polymer after removal of the solvent.
